"Accessing water was very hard before this project was completed. We had to dig very deep scoop holes to get water. It was challenging because the river bed had massive rocks, and getting water was very hard. There were very long queues to fetch water, which was very time-consuming," said 18-year-old Fredrick Muloka Nyamai.
"Life is easier now because accessing water is easy. The water is very fresh for drinking, unlike the water we used to drink before, which was salty and dirty. There are no queues at the shallow well, a lot of time is saved. I can fetch enough water for the use of all my duties in just one round."

"I plan to plant vegetables at home for both domestic use and agribusiness because the water is easily available. Using the water, I have been learning how to make bricks at home to construct houses now that the water is readily available. In my free time, I intend to capitalize more on this before I join college because there's plenty of water, and I can raise some money for school fees through the sale of bricks."
